    Harry Potter Lego on sale next week at Myer? —Kerry Raymond
   I asked a sales assistant in Myer Queen Street about the lack of Harry Potter on the shelf. SA: "Oh, they haven't come in yet" Me: "But Toyworld next door has them" SA: "Oh, well, we really do have them but they aren't on the shelves yet" Me: "Oh, (...)

        Re: Harry Potter Lego on sale next week at Myer? —Deidre Rushton Brumby
   hmmm, Odd behaviour for Myer. Myer Hobart had some of the Harry Potter arrive in store last Wednesday or Thursday, I saw them as they always sit the unopened Lego freight boxes out in front of the Lego aisle and I've become adept at reading the (...)

      (...) Yes, Thursday was mentioned as the most likely day. Kerry (23 years ago, 23-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
    
         Re: Harry Potter Lego on sale next week at Myer? —Deidre Rushton Brumby
     (...) Having just realised that this Thursday is show holiday in S. Tas (and hence no trading) I would appreciate a heads up if anything interesting does appear sale/catalogue wise tomorrow. Thanks! Deidre drb@tasmail.com (23 years ago, 24-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
    
         Re: Harry Potter Lego on sale next week at Myer? —James Howse
     (...) Was, in Grace Brothers city store today (same chain as Myers). They had a large table of HP LEGO (sans Fluffy and Express).I asked was there a sale on soon as I'd heard such and they said yes. Yes, Tommorrow. Yes, 20% Yes, all LEGO. So I of (...)

No discounts. There is 20% off some brands of toy but (...) (23 years ago, 25-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

      (...) Mea Grande Culpa. Looks like I got some bad info, apologies to all who charged up their credit cards for this. James (who ought go back to the city and weedle some 20%off bargins) (23 years ago, 25-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

          Re: Harry Potter Lego on sale next week at Myer? SOME GOOD NEWS —Ross Crawford
      (...) Just for those that haven't already checked, Hogwarts Express is on the shelves. Though $90 is pretty steep for a train that doesn't run Lego track 8?( ROSCO (23 years ago, 27-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

         Re: Harry Potter Lego on sale next week at Myer? BAD NEWS —Deidre Rushton Brumby
     Thankyou to all with the Myer info, I was heartened to be able to layby a Hogwart's Express, even though it wasn't "on sale" on such. The guy (not Sean) who took my husband's call when he rang up Friday morning to get them to hold the HP castle and (...) (23 years ago, 31-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
    
         Hogwarts vs. Leo's Breezeway (was: HP sale at Myer? BAD NEWS) —James Howse
      (...) I assume that the decision is weighed heavily by the fact you already have one stashed away bought for around half the price of Hogwarts. For reference Set <set:4709> <set:6098> Peices 682 524 Figs 9 (counting the armour) 8 (counting the (...) (23 years ago, 31-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

          Re: Hogwarts vs. Leo's Breezeway (was: HP sale at Myer? BAD NEWS) —Kerry Raymond
        (...) I have them both. The plastic (or is paper?) roof is *very* disappointing on the Hogwarts Castle. I will be adding a real roof onto mine! Also worth noting is that the Hogwarts Castle is not one big building but three separate structures. The (...) (23 years ago, 31-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

I have just put the two of them side-by-side (previously they were in different rooms), and it turns out that Hogwarts stands higher, despite the advantage of the moulded (...)

          Re: Hogwarts vs. Leo's Breezeway —Deidre Rushton Brumby
      Thankyou to James and Kerry for the comparisons. (...) Well, my preference was obviously for my son to want the KK for the above reasons, but the decision was down to him, I admit I'm a softy when it comes to Christmas, if he'd really preferred the (...)

          Re: Hogwarts vs. Leo's Breezeway —Kerry Raymond
       (...) It seems that Lego is doing a good job of confusing the consumers. I think a lot of people will be expecting Hogwarts Castle to be a Castle in the Lego theme sense (meaning a medieval structure intended to be defended with weapons), when it (...)

     (...) And then the Hogwart's Express turned up at Kmart the day the 20% off all toys started! Same reg price as Myer take a few cents. Cost $2.20 service fee to can the Myer layby, but still saved around $15. I also gave in to the Forbidden Corridor (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

      (...) Yes, the spiral staircases (Forbidden Corridor and Hogwarts Castle) are pests. It's all very nice that you can spiral them in either direction, but the price you pay is that slightest vibration tends to close up your staircase. I would have (...)

         Harry Potter Lego -- are these sets supposed to work together? —Kerry Raymond
     I have now built all the Harry Potter sets that relate to Hogwarts Castle (specifically the castle itself (3 parts), Snape's Dungeon/Classroom, Forbidden Corridor, Winged Keys, and Final Challenge). It seems like a few people in the design team had (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
   
        Re: Harry Potter Lego on sale next week at Myer? —Deidre Rushton Brumby
   And yes, neatly sidestepping the 20% off, Harry Potter has (mostly) hit the shelves at Myer Hobart. The castle is $159.95 (5 copies spotted), no Hogwarts Express but most of the other sets (barring the 3 delayed release ones). Also, not 1 but 10 (...) (23 years ago, 23-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

        Re: Harry Potter Lego on sale next week at Myer? —Martin Scragg
     (...) Especially with the 8466 being priced at $180. It needs to be about half the current price before I would think about it. Martin (23 years ago, 23-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
   
        Re: Harry Potter Lego on sale next week at Myer? —Deidre Rushton Brumby
   (...) Weren't they about $330 at release? I'm just amazed that they're here in little old Tassie at all...Only took them what, just over a year? (and no, I'm not buying one!) Deidre (23 years ago, 23-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
   
        Re: Harry Potter Lego on sale next week at Myer? —Ross Crawford
   (...) Current TRU price is $349. Absurd. Especialy when, as Martin said, the 8466 is close to half that price. But I'm glad I never had to search for Lego in Tassie 8?) ROSCO (23 years ago, 23-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
